Park was supposed to look like. He was uncomfortable in scaling this project down without knowing what else needed to be approved or be a part of the Park. Mr. Bmzosky asked Mr. Campbell if he was concerned that the scaled down project would be too small, or did he want to provide the applicant the option to make the project smaller? Mr. Campbell asked if Remillard Road, and the overflow parking area would still be needed if the project were scaled down, as there are a lot of parameters that go into the project. He was not comfortable scaling down the project if he did not know how he would feel about planning the rest of the project given the uncertainty with respect to the rest of the impacts. Mayor Pico believed the suggestion he was hearing from Mr. Brozosky was that Council look at modifying the phasing so that there would be a first phase that would include the addition of up to four water slides on the existing hill. All of the ground level activities would be authorized within the first phase. Everything else could be a part of a second phase that would require a subsequent conditional user permit. Ms. Ayala said that any second phase would absolutely have to come back to the Planning Commission and Council for approval. Mr. Brozosky pointed out that the applicant did provide to Council a multi phased plan that included three phases. He believed Council should consider taking the first phase and making it even smaller. Mr. Campbell did not believe it should be termed phasing after the initial first phase. He liked the idea of renovating the four existing water slides on slide hill and the four additional new water slides. What he did not like is the additional ground level attractions. He would like to scale the project down further and not go beyond the activity pool, and keep everything else existing grass land. Mr. Brozosky understood Mr. Campbell's concerns, which he also shared as it related to the overflow parking area and how much is required. He noted that the water park in its existing condition is not a family environment and only benefits preteens and upper elementary school students. By placing some of the ground level attractions, such as the Lazy River and the wade pool, it will offer more to the families in Pleasanton. Ms. Hosterman disagreed. Shadow Cliffs Regional Park is not about water slides. The Park is all about walking, hiking, walking dogs, swimming, and fishing. The expansion of the water slides is not a good fit with what currently exists. Mr. Brozosky asked Ms. Hosterman if she was stating that the current water slides do not fit in with the Park. He pointed out that the current water slides are within the same envelope as the current water slide area and the picnic area. Pleasanton City Council 10 03/30/04 Minutes
